Get Connected
As a Brunel student, you can access a number of services. If you have any questions, please contact Computer Centre Service Desk:
Brunel Network account
Shortly after you complete the online Registration task, your Network account details will appear in your eVision portal. These give you full access to your account, the intranet, and space in which to save work (your Home or H:drive). You can use your Network account details in a number of work areas around campus. Many are open 24/7 and provide self service print, photocopy and scan-to-email services.Password Self Service
Register for Password Self Service here. This allows you to manage your password should you forget it or need to change it.@my.brunel
@my.brunel is a collection of applications including email, calendars and contacts, based on Google Apps. Your student number is your username, along with your Network account password. The University and your teaching team will communicate with you via email, so check your messages regularly. You can access @my.brunel via the webmail page. Currently only Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught students have access to the @my.brunel email address and apps. Find out more.Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to Brunel
Brunel’s Connect services allow you to connect your personal networking devices, such as laptops or smartphones, to the University network. All devices must be registered in order to access the internet and internal resources. For further information on all services, visit the Connect Portal. Once you have your Brunel Network account details you will be able to register each of your devices on the Connect Portal. You can do this either on or off campus. You can also subscribe to the following free services via the Connect Portal (some usage restrictions may apply).
ResNet
ResNet is the hardwired network in all Halls of Residence. In every study bedroom you can plug your computer into a network outlet and access the Internet via the Brunel network. You can also access your Home drive (H: drive) and the self service printers from your room. ResNet requires a standard Cat5e network cable – purchase one either before you arrive, or on campus from your Residence Manager or the Computer Centre IT store.Wifi@Brunel
Any registered Wi-Fi device that supports WPA2 Enterprise encryption can connect to the campus Wi-Fi network, 'Wifi@Brunel'. Full details are available on the Connect Portal. Wi-Fi activation is automatic once you have registered your device. You can register via the open Wi-Fi network, “SignUp4Wifi@ Brunel”, which provides limited access so that you can use the Connect Portal. Wi-Fi is available widely, including in all Halls of Residence.
ResNet is best for a fast, unrestricted service, whilst Wifi@Brunel can be used for web browsing and non-bandwidth intensive applications. ResNet remains the primary connection in all Halls of Residence.
